Thanks so much for the Owner's manual for my Sony PS - FL1. I had purchased the turntable off of eBay. It came in and looked great. Packed well and appeared to be great. I balanced and aligned the tone are and hooked it up. When trying to play a record the tone are would move to the right place and just before it would drop to play it moved back off the edge of the record before touching down. I searched the net for an answer to this issue. No luck. Then I purchased the owners manual and sure enough there was a place to adjust where the stylus touched down. That adjustment solved the problem and saved me a $35 feet to have the player checked out. The manual is well written and easy to understand. It is a must have for anyone with this front loading Sony turntable.
Some years back I pruchased a Sansui G-9000. I had it cleaned up and a problem with the left channel repaired. When I got it back I hooked it up to my tape decks, turn tables, TV and it played great. The only thing I was not really satisfied with was the performance of my Graphic Equalizer. I purchased this owner's manual had poured myself a cup of coffee. The manual is well organized and written in plain language. It also contained the solution to my dissatisfaction. By using the preamp connections coupled I was able to run everything through my graphic equalizer and now enjoy the full potential of my complete system.
An excellent service for the price, however, it would also have been handy if the troubleshooter pages were included. The manual is only sent in the language of your country, thus it looks as though there are some pages missing. Otherwise highly recommended.
I am happy to get a rare TECHNICS SH-9090 Owner's Manual by PDF in clear copy.

13 How to open the lid during the cycle of the programme
You can open the lid after having set the washing machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist:
We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket. Leave the lid open in order to air the washing machine.
� the appliance is not in the heating phase, � the level of the water is not high, � the drum is not turning.
If these requirements are met when you pause the washing machine, the DOOR light goes out and the lid can be opened. Should it not be possible to open the lid, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button. After approximately 2 minutes, you can open the lid. Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine! When you close the lid and press the ON/OFF button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted.
14 End of programme
At the end of the programme, the washing machine stops automatically and gives an audible signal (which can be deactivated, see page 7). If you had selected the RINSE HOLD option, the START/PAUSE button light flashes to indicate that the water must be drained (page 8). The DOOR light goes out at once. Note: When you switch the machine on, if you must erase the previously performed programme, it is also sufficient to press the FABRICS button and select a new programme. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out. Remove the laundry from the washing machine. Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry. 11
